Reinvention, Sisterhood, and Building Visibility with Valentina Escobar Gonzalez
Coach Jackie welcomes Valentina Escobar Gonzalez, founder of Beyond Engagement Social Media Solutions, who shares her 14-year journey in social media marketing and her recent move from the South to Pennsylvania, where she had to rebuild community and business from scratch. They discuss the “I Got It Girl” shift from survival-driven independence to receiving support, trust, and surrender, including Jackie’s experience letting her husband support her during family health crises. Valentina describes putting herself in uncomfortable networking rooms, leveraging sisterhood groups like Polka Dot Powerhouse and the Junior League, and using curiosity to form connections. Business growth themes include investing in education, authenticity and storytelling, and practical visibility strategies—especially that LinkedIn comments can outperform posts for reach—plus choosing one “happy place” platform and defining consistency in a sustainable way.
